Winning an NBA title often hinges on having a strong trio of players who can drive success in the postseason. Milwaukee Bucks fans are lucky to have their own impressive Big Three, featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Khris Middleton, who are helping the team position itself as a leading contender in the Eastern Conference.
Although this trio may not be the flashiest in the league at the moment, they are proving their worth. Despite some skepticism about their ability to lead the Bucks to a championship, a recent list highlights them as one of the league’s top three-player combinations. Basketball Forever ranks Antetokounmpo, Lillard, and Middleton as the fourth-best Big Three in the NBA for the upcoming 2024-25 season, trailing only the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, and Philadelphia 76ers.
The Celtics, Mavericks, and 76ers are ranked higher, likely due to their well-rounded rosters. However, if Lillard and Middleton return to their All-Star form, and with Giannis always being a challenging opponent, the Bucks could certainly compete strongly with these teams and potentially make a return to the Finals.
